I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic. I really want it to be good, but at the same time, it's by Illumination and stars goddamn Chris Pratt as Mario so my expectations aren't super high.
 
I didn't really have a problem with Chris Pratt playing Mario until I heard he won't be using Mario's accent even at all.
 
Dude

Keegan Michael Key as Toad

It's going to be a good time.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but I think it's better if Mario doesn't have the accent in the movie. Sure, it won't ne 100% faithful to the series, but I think it'd be strange to hear the Italian accent with full sentences and dialogue. I believe the best way they could've done Mario's voice is by casting Charles Martinet as Mario but removing the accent, like they (kinda) did in Mario Odyssey.

I mean if Chris tries another accent aside from Italian that still sounds like an accent somewhat fitting for Mario's personality, like in the Mario cartoons (or even to an extent Hotel Mario as while the cutscenes are bad I could at least see why they picked the accent Mario has there), that will be fine. I just think it would be awkward if Mario sounds completely like Chris Pratt's normal voice.

That's the thing, I don't like the Italian accent that much, and that's why I don't like how Mario talks in the cartoons. I think they should've stayed with Charles Martinet but removed the Italian accent. I think Chris should go for a voice similar to when he played Emmet in the Lego Movie. This is all my opinion though, other people might disagree.

See, that's an interesting contrast with my opinion where I do not want Mario to sound like Emmet at all.
